The first ever Acorns A Go-Go Groovy Vegan Fest will take place in the heart of Greenbelt
Saturday, October 12th
11:00am - 6:00pm

Acorns A Go-Go Groovy Vegan Festival is a new fall festival at the Roosevelt Center in Greenbelt. The event will be hosted by Honey LaBronx "The Vegan Drag Queen" who will be coming in from New York City. Enjoy vendors, performances, demos, talks and more in the heart of Greenbelt, where the eco-friendly spirit very much alive and well!

About the name Acorns A Go-Go: "Acorns are abundant in the fall and oak trees (from which acorns grow) are a vital part of our ecological system. Acorns A Go-Go is taking place in historic Greenbelt, a Tree City, which exists in an oak forest. In addition to the acorn theme, they combined Go-Go -- for a funky, psychedelic 60's backdrop. It was in the 1960's the DC music genre Gogo was born and also a time when go-go dancers started dancing in DJ booths at the famous Whiskey A Go-Go in Hollywood, CA. The 60's decade was a time of movers and shakers and paradigm breakers. The times we live in call for a revival of that same energy of peace, love, understanding and vegan Go-Go! So, feel free to do your own thing to get into the 60's Go-Go spirit - put on your love beads, vegan Birkenstocks, pleather go-go boots, tie-dyed t-shirts, mod minis or whatever ideas you have to let your inner vegan flower child out to play!"
